"A little light, dispells much darkness"
Dear friends, family members and students of Beis Yosef Torah Academy
What can I say, another week has come and gone, and it was truly wonderful to learn with the children. One of the great things that I have to remember is that BYTA is just a small part of a larger picture. We were privileged to part of the International Global Learning day. A day that showed that those learning in a Virtual school or home school actually are being listened to.
Aleph Beis - As there are different levels regarding the reading and writing in our group we have decided to tell you what they are each doing. I am pleased to say that both groups are starting to read though, and this brings me (the teacher) and I hope you a lot of nachas from these boys. Group A is moving along rather nicely. They have the entire Aleph Beis bal peh, and we have been working on the nikudot. They have been working very hard, and are up to Cholom Maley. WAY TO GO!!! We will continue on next with and hope to finish. They can read words with the Kamatz such as Atah, Aba, etc... Group B has really leaped forward this week and have taken on themselves to move farther in their reading. They are not only reading the Kamatz three letter words, but also have gone on to word and sound recognition. They have worked hard this week and I am sure that we will see alot more from this group in the weeks to follow. Yishar Koach Group A and Group B
Chassidus - We are learning the first chapter of Tanya. "Tanya, at the end of the third chapter of Tractate Nidda, that the soul is given an oath to be a Tzadik and Not a Rasha.. The main idea is that we are taught when in Shamayim to not forget about the oath and that we have mission. As this just started we will continue to explore this journey of our soul. Stay tuned for next week, when we examine the contradiction between Pirke Avos and what was written Tractate Nidda.

Pirkie Avos - Started the first 3 sentiences in the first mishna, and looked at how we are part of a great chain; of not only History but of a nation that is still around. Because we are guarding and learning Torah.
Tefillah - We are working very hard on our Tefillah. We are learning that it is not always easy to concentrate and speak to Hashem. We started learning the third perek of Shema, and how it reminds of to remember the Exodus. We also have started to kiss our Tzitzit where they are mentioned in the Shema.
Understanding Our Tefillah - We learned this week that we always have a direct number to the pelephone of Hashem. All we need to do is to call the number. We also talked about how our prayers are answered just by the kavana in our heart.
In Hilchos Shabbos we are starting to learn the 39 Melachot. We discussed the different ways that we can do Choresh, and how we have to be careful when playing outside in order to not trespass this melacha.
Wishing you and your family and friends a warm Shabbat Shalom
